Provided by Katie Workman

Categories     Main Course

Time 5h55m

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 first-cut brisket (about 5 pounds)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika (smoked if possible)
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped celery
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
½ cup ketchup
3 cups beef broth
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • If the brisket has a thick layer of fat, trim it down to ¼-inch. Mix together rub ingredients. Rub all over brisket, wrap it in plastic wrap or place in in a sealable container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place the brisket in a roasting pan and cover the baking pan with a lid, or seal it well with foil. Bake for 3 hours.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Add the cayenne, vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, broth and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes until it reduces slightly. Remove from the heat.
  • Take the brisket from the oven, turn it over, and pour the half of the sauce into the pan over the brisket, recover the pan (if using foil, cover the pan tightly, using towels to protect your hands from the hot pan). Reserve the rest of the sauce in the pot. Continue cooking in the oven for another 2 hours or so, or until the meat is just about fork tender. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes until the outside of the brisket has browned up and gotten a bit crusty.
  • Remove from the oven, take the brisket out of the pan, and let it sit on a cutting board tented with foil (with a little moat to catch the juices!) for 20 minutes before slicing across the grain. If there is any sauce left in the pan, skim off the fat and add it to the remaining sauce in the pot, and heat it again before serving the brisket with the additional sauce for people to drizzle over their meat if they like. If you want a smother sauce you can strain out the solids, or puree it with a blender.

EASY BEEF BRISKET



Easy Beef Brisket image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 3- to 3 1/2-pound trimmed beef brisket
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
1 cup cola
2 1/2 cups beef stock
4 dried whole star anise
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 dried bay leaf
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

Steps:

  • Check to see if the brisket fits into a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. If not, slice the brisket into 2 pieces against the grain to allow it to fit.
  • Put a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Put the brisket on the rack with the side lined with a thin layer of fat touching the rack. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper all over the brisket, making sure to season both sides. Let the brisket come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. (Tip: This step can be done up to 1 day in advance. Refrigerate the seasoned brisket, uncovered. By letting the brisket rest in the refrigerator, the sear will be more even and golden brown.)
  • Put a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the oil and heat until shiny, about 30 seconds. Add the brisket fat-side up and sear until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the brisket over and sear the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium high and add the onions. Cook until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour the cola into the pot and scrape up any brown bits. Place the brisket back in the pot fat-side up, along with any juices that have collected around it. Bury the brisket under the onions. Add the beef stock, star anise, rosemary sprigs and bay leaf; the stock should not submerge the brisket, but come up about two-thirds of the way. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover the pot and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the lid and flip the brisket over, making sure to nestle it back into the softened onions. Cover the pot and continue cooking until the beef is tender but not falling apart, an additional 1 1/2 hours. Remove the beef from the pot and set on a cutting board. Remove the rosemary stems, bay leaf and star anise and discard. Place the pot over high heat and cook the sauce until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice the brisket against the grain and spread onto a serving platter. Top the sliced brisket with the onions and spoon the sauce over the platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and thyme. Serve immediately.

EASY BAKED BEEF BRISKET



Easy Baked Beef Brisket image

For a brisket recipe, this is considered very fast. The convention of cooking it low and slow often results in dried-out meat that never reaches the proper internal temperature. Instead of waiting all day and risking such disappointment, we dial up the temperature slightly and bake it in about half the time to ensure it's both tender and moist. Garnish with chives if desired.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 12h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds first-cut brisket (or flat-cut), trimmed of fat
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 cup apple juice

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. For best results, place brisket over an aluminum foil "rack" set over a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, 8 to 12 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and salt. Cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, rosemary, and apple juice. Increase heat to high and boil until liquid is reduced by about half, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer half of the apple-onion mixture into a baking dish. Place brisket fat-side up on top; cover with remaining apple-onion mixture. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) and bake until fork-tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. Check for doneness after 2 hours.
  • Transfer brisket to a plate and tent with foil.
  • Pour the onions and braising liquid into a large measuring cup or bowl. Skim some fat off the top. Puree with a stick blender to create a gravy.
  • Slice brisket across the grain and serve with the gravy.

Tips for Making the Best Baked Beef Brisket

  • Choose the right brisket. Brisket is a large cut of beef from the shoulder or breast of the cow. It's a tough cut of meat, but it's also very flavorful. Look for a brisket that is at least 3 pounds and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Trim the brisket. Before you cook the brisket, you'll need to trim off the excess fat. Use a sharp knife to remove any large pieces of fat from the brisket. You can also score the brisket, which will help the meat cook more evenly.
  • Season the brisket. Brisket is a flavorful cut of meat, but it can benefit from a little seasoning. Use a rub made from your favorite spices and herbs. You can also add a little liquid smoke to the rub, which will give the brisket a smoky flavor.
  • Cook the brisket slowly. Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly in order to become tender. Cook the brisket at a low temperature, such as 250 degrees Fahrenheit, for at least 8 hours. You can also cook the brisket in a slow cooker on low for 10-12 hours.
  • Let the brisket rest. Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the meat retain its juices and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion

Baked beef brisket is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's a great way to use up a tough cut of meat, and it's sure to impress your guests. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a baked beef brisket that is sure to be a hit.
